and throw out some trash. I was minding my own business. While my expression may have been a little off, I was hardly that attention grabbing, I think. He even said I reminded him of some other guy he liked.

All I could think was, "Is this what women have to deal with? That was creepy and awful!"

suggested we do together, which made me uncomfortable as heck, and I guess he couldn't tell. The longer it went on, the more desperate I became for someone to get me out of that conversation. The worst part was it felt like the only thing I did to even get his attention was walk over to a trash can

I don't mean to imply it's the same thing, but it did get me thinking about it.

While I was at the PNBR last summer, a guy started hitting on me. It made me super uncomfortable too, and it wasn't because he was a dude, but everything from the things he (tried) to compliment me on to the things he

But, I was a closet nudist for so long that I'm actually really proud I'm a nudist. I found a lifestyle that makes me happy and no longer feels constantly depressed & trapped like a bird in a cage. I'm less stressed, too, so I feel it's only natural. I want to post about my lifestyle, pics, or not.

I agree and completely see where you're coming from. But as a nudist, I love sharing my lifestyle with pics of myself enjoying it. I usually (slightly reluctantly) censor them, though. Not everyone is expecting to see that, I don't have an idea if the people I know don't mind seeing it uncensored.

and I think it's time society gets over this thing they have regarding nudity. Or, at the very least, take baby steps and allow women to swim topless. They're just nipples, guys have them too it doesn't really make sense to label one lewd and the other not.

Before, it at least made sense to me even if I preferred skinny dipping, but now I can help but think of a swimsuit, whether it's swim trunks, a speedo, a bikini, a one piece, or whatever and wonder why bother wearing this at all though? What purpose does this serve? Swimsuits are dumb and pointless

I decided to repost the selfie I took in Lemon Hill Park when I arrived at the Philly Naked Bike Ride. I'm naked, but I censored it in case it would make any non-nudists I know feel uncomfortable when they saw me. I'm proud to be a nudist, though, and I don't mind posting the uncensored one someday.

I'll confess I did it as a closeted nudist in my teenage years.

I'd pretend it was socially acceptable to practice nudism anywhere I wanted. It's embarrassing, though, and I think extremely illegal. But I was young and REALLY stupid and honestly didn't consider what I was doing could be dangerous.

I meant in situations when you can't do that. I realize that you can actually do that on here, but that's not a universal thing.

This couldn't be better advice. I love these words of wisdom.
